PC Racing Game Recommendations

[twistedsymphony]

I know there are lots of Emulated arcade games available but I was wondering if there's a good list PC Racing games somewhere I'm specifically looking for games that can run WITHOUT an internet connection but DOES support Lan play.

I don't have, nor do I want an internet hook up in my arcade room but I will have 2 cabs networked together for local multiplayer. Force feedback support would be cool too.

I looked around and couldn't find much information on what PC Racers people were playing so I figured I'd ask.

thanks 

[segarally]

For local multiplayer you can try these game:
Sega Rally 2
Sega Touring Car
Dirt 2
Dirt 3
Grid
Outrun 2006

Asetto Corsa
Trackmania 2
Evo2k7

Wow I didn't realize i could play any of the dirt games without an internet connection for DRM.

Last time I looked into it Steam Purchases required an internet connection to verify. What do I have to do to make that work?

[BadMouth]

Redeem on Steam. All of these games run on Steam for Windows

I fought it for a long time, but finally broke down and allowed my cabs to have a connection last year. (although the new driving cabs aren't finished)

One option is to run a powerline adapter.  I've had good luck with them plugged directly in the wall, but haven't been able to get them to work consistently if connected to a power strip.  You could just run one, then use a 4 or 5 port switch in the room where the cabs are.

I had Dirt 2 and Grid running on my old cab that wasn't connected, but it was the physical retail version.  Never tried to set up a LAN connection or anything with it though.  IIRC, I still had to deal with the Games for Windows Live crap, but used an offline account.

There's this, but it's just barely started: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aq37CSO6oe1fdGNQUGN5UU1QeTl0ZFQ3WkFKYTR1aWc#gid=5

Steam can run in offline mode for like a year. You can always buy the game then apply the steam crack?  Usually Humble Bundle gives you DRM free versions in addition to steam keys, I didnt notice that they didnt this time.

That would still require me to pull the hardware out of the cabinet to get the games/verify with Steam...

Typically I just plug in a keyboard/mouse and install games via thumb-drive when I want to update something in one of my cabs since I prefer to hard mount the PC case inside the cabinet.

Also I've got 2 cabinets linked together (hence why I want LAN multiplayer) and I don't know if they've changed it but previously Steam didn't allow me to play the same game from the same account on two different machines.

Thanks! That's pretty helpful even if it is a preliminary list..

I don't understand why you highlighted the sentence about the humble bundle usually providing DRM free keys. That's great that they usually do that, but if they didn't this time during the sale with racing games then I guess I'm missing how that helps me.

a wireless adapter might help steam authenticate and download but that doesn't solve any of the other problems:

1. Steam occasionally asks me to sign in, even in offline mode (it does this because even though it's not online it still sees another PC on the LAN running the same account)

2. Steam wont let me play the same game using the same account against another PC on the same LAN.

I don't mind paying 2 or 3 times as much for a game if it means I just plain old don't have to deal with any of those headaches. If there are some games that can ONLY be played that way then maybe I'll weigh how badly I'd like to play those games, but ideally I want my arcade cabs to be as autonomous as possible... the only thing they should need to rely on to run properly is the power coming in from the wall. For me that's a big part of the appeal of these machines, arcade gaming is a pure experience without any of the BS that is IMO dragging own modern gaming on PC and consoles.

Why is it so hard for you to accept that I just don't want to sully my machine with any of that crap?

[Malenko]

Cool you do read. What I meant was, *I* didn't notice the bundle didn't include the non-DRM version or I wouldn't have suggested it.

Why is it so hard for you to accept that I thought you could download the non-DRM versions without needing steam but I then admitted I made a mistake?

when I talked about still having to connect to the internet I was responding to your comment "Steam can run in offline mode for like a year", not the bit about the humble bundle, sorry I should have just chopped out your bit about the humble bundle to avoid confusion I wrongfully assumed it was obvious which part of that I was replying to.

Get USB wireless adapters and wireless keyboards.  There really isn't any reasonable reason to avoid Steam. 

[Malenko]

all good bro, I was in a pissy mood when I posted so dont sweat it.

[Ingesecition]

IMO Dirt 2 is the best driving game I have come across,very good and realistic damage(as far as games go), sound, car selection, number of events etc. And you can make use of it in DX 11 with your 5770

[Howard_Casto]

Get USB wireless adapters and wireless keyboards.  There really isn't any reasonable reason to avoid Steam.

When your suggestion is to whip out a keyboard, a cardinal sin imho, then you don't sound very convincing. 

There are TONS of reasons to avoid steam just for the record, and weather you are willing to put up with it's b.s. to get a selection of games to run will vary from person to person.

If you don't want to mess with a keyboard - ever - put a 60-in-1,  100-in-1, x-in-1 card in your cabinet and be done with it. 

Otherwise, its a PC.  Treat it accordingly.

My games are all going into a basement arcade I have about a dozen machines, most of which are actual arcade machines... Anything that's running a PC want to act like an actual arcade machine.... the primary goal of these machines is not just for my own entertainment but for guests and children of my guests. I don't want to have to run around to all the machines to get them up and running or dole out instructions to my guests as to how to make things work... I want everything just work, I want to flip on the power to the room, have everything boot up and allow guests to just sit down and play without any fuss, no maintenance, no dependency on some outside system, no reliance on peripherals or wires that don't belong in an arcade.... just turn the power on and play. I consider my build a success if my guests don't even realize that they're playing games on a PC.

I created this topic because I wanted game suggestions that would work well in this environment. nearly EVERY other topic on the subject deals with all of these setups that require an intimate knowledge of the machine and how it was built just to play.... If all I wanted to do was play racing games on a PC then I'd just buy a racing wheel and be done with it.... I'm not doing that I'm trying to build several linked arcade machines that play as authentically and as painlessly as a real arcade machine.

I appreciate the game suggestions people have given me so far but there have been more posts in this thread telling me that somehow I'm wrong for wanting a suggestions for non-online games... why is this such an offensive request?

I've played all of the DiRT games on Xbox 360 they're pretty good though unless I can get an DRM free version of them I don't think it's worth bothering adding them to my cabs.

If anyone is interested GRID and Flatout 1 and 2 are all available DRM free from GoG:
http://www.gog.com/game/race_driver_grid
http://www.gog.com/game/flatout
http://www.gog.com/game/flatout_2

they also have some older racing series such as MegaRace, POD racer, and the Screamer series

The market has moved away from LAN enabled games.  I can't say for others, but I think its safe to say some of us have moved on from trying to do it that way and embraced the remaining options. 

[twistedsymphony]

Don't get me wrong I understand the direction the market is and has been going, but I never stated I was looking for the latest and greatest games. I mean I consider suggestions for games released in the mid-90s just as valid as games released last week... The cabs have got 640x480 arcade monitors (again because I'm looking for an authentic arcade experience)... something equivalent to Daytona USA and Crusin' is ever bit as good a suggestion as Dirt 3 and Grid 2.

I know what I can get if I'm willing to accept DRM... If I wanted to know what Racing games are available on PC PEROID I'd just search amazon or Steam.

I want to know what options in the DRM free realm are available to me because THAT information is actually difficult to find.

Wow man, of all the trolling on this board over the last 10+ years that's literally the most offensive thing I've ever read here.  You do realize that the whole concept of byoac was to eliminate any traces of running a computer while still running a computer right?  For initial configuration it's one thing, but if you regularly have to pull out a keyboard just to run games you've failed at byoac.

I'm not even sure why I'm responding to such a rude comment, but here goes anyway.

The author of this post wanted PC DRIVING GAMES.

Lots of Steam releated games were brought up by others.  The author mentioned he didn't like Steam because of the "online requirements" and alluded to the fact that his rig was burried in cabinet and not easily accessible.

To which I responded with "wifi and wireless keyboard"

Then you jumped in with "its a cardinal sin to use a keyboard"

So I responded - to you - that based on your "ITS A SIN TO USE A KEYBOARD" comment with get a damn 60-in-1 and be done.   I took your asinine comment and responded with an equally asinine (and what I thought was obviously sarcastic comment - I don't' know of any driving games that work on 60-in-1 or whatever boards - it was a joke).

PC driving games require a damn keyboard occasionally.  At least newer ones do.  Sure you can avoid it most of the time, but you need one handy, because some obscure thing in the menus is going to use it.  Or you occasionally have to activate your DRM.  Or the wheel support has to be manually enabled and tweaked for awhile.

My solution was "use a wireless keyboard when the need arises", which is not what you interpreted "use a keyboard 100% of the time".  The devil is in the details. 

EDIT:

Maybe you don't have a driving cabinet, so you don't know the pain that is setting up one?  MAME - and most other emulated systems - you can general baseline config that works with 95%+ of the games out there.  Joystick + buttons, you're good.

Driving games - emulated and PC native - every damn one is different and has to be configured individually.  So sure, once you get one game setup you can jump in and out and just play using the wheel all day long, but as soon as you want to add another, out comes the keyboard to figure out how to get the thing working right.

[isamu]

Xpadder is your friend if you're really hell bent on avoiding using a keyboard. You can simply map any of your cabinet buttons to keyboard keys. Not enough buttons on your cab? Get a DSD Button box:

[Howard_Casto]

Fursphere, my comment wasn't rude, but rather yours was.  You didn't elaborate at all on what you meant, rather you did a knee-jerk response.  I explained and like everybody has been doing in this thread, because you didn't like the reasoning, you immediately dismissed it by throwing out a rude "well just put a 60-in-1" comment in there. 

Regardless, nope, after initial configuration you shouldn't need a keyboard or mouse.  By that I mean, you should be able to setup a game and never have to deal with it again.  The problem with steam is this isn't often the case. That was my point and that is the point twistedsymphony was trying to make. 

It's ok if you want to deal with that kind of thing, but you shouldn't berate somebody just because they don't feel it's worth it.

I mean you guys  aren't really helping in this thread, I tried to keep out of it because I didn't have any good titles to add, but it was getting on my nerves.  If you don't have any suggestions for lan-enabled games that's the end of it.  Why does everybody have to keep pushing steam on the guy when he obviously has stated that he doesn't want to deal with it?

[Fursphere]

So this put this in a project format.

Requirements:

PC Games (no operating system level given or release year range, assume all?)
LAN Play - Required
Internet Plan - Not Required, but will not be used
Steam or other online DRM - No online DRM.  (What about cracks?)  (and what about CD based DRM?  is the drive accessible?)
Keyboard / Mouse required at any given time other than installation and initial configuration - NO

Ok, so now lets list the games that meet those requirements (that we know of)

----

Outrun 2006 (CRACKED - otherwise it requires the CD to be in the drive while playing)
GRID might work?  Games for Windows Live online DRM - but it might allow local play without a connection.

There seems to be a good number of LAN games, but the online DRM requirements break the author's requirements.
(I'll add more as I confirm them)

[twistedsymphony]

So this put this in a project format.

if you read the entire first post I listed all of my requirements up front, it just wasn't in bullet format ... my frustration stems from a majority of the suggestions in this thread,that blatantly ignored my "Requirements" or told me I was somehow wrong for wanting them as requirements. It's not like I changed my mind about things as the thread progressed... everything was specified in the first post.

here is the first post again:

I know there are lots of Emulated arcade games available but I was wondering if there's a good list PC Racing games somewhere I'm specifically looking for games that can run WITHOUT an internet connection but DOES support Lan play.

I don't have, nor do I want an internet hook up in my arcade room but I will have 2 cabs networked together for local multiplayer. Force feedback support would be cool too.

I looked around and couldn't find much information on what PC Racers people were playing so I figured I'd ask.

thanks 

If you want it in bullet format here you go:

1. PC Driving Games
2. Can be installed and played without an internet connection
3. Supports LAN plan
4. (Optional) Supports Force Feedback

That's it... I honestly don't really where the games come from or whether or not they use steam or how hard they are to setup and get running using/not using a keyboard (I'm sure I can hack my way around a solution) but as long as there is no internet connection required I'm happy with the suggestion.

---------------------

So far the games I've found that meet my requirements are as follows:

FlatOut (DRM Free From gog.com)
FlatOut 2 (DRM Free From gog.com)
GTR - FIA GT Racing (DRM Free From Steam)
GTR2 - FIA GT Racing (DRM Free From Steam)
Outrun 2006
Race Driver: Grid (DRM Free From gog.com)
Screamer (DRM Free From gog.com)
Screamer 2 (DRM Free From gog.com)

[BadMouth]

Screamer and Screamer 2 are dos games that GOG have packaged with dosbox.

Been a while since I messed with it, but I never could get the controls for Screamer 1 working properly.
IIRC, it kept pulling to the left.  Changing the type of joystick in the dosbox settings to the wheel supposed to fix the issue in other games, but didn't work for me on this game.
I already owned the game and had it running in dosbox before I bought it from GOG.  Was hoping the GOG version wouldn't have the issue, but it's exactly the same.

If GTR meets your criteria the other Simbin games should also, but be aware that all the simbin games require a mouse for menu navigation.

[Malenko]

what about all the Need for Speed games?

Thanks for the insight on those titles.

what about all the Need for Speed games?

If you know where I can buy them without online DRM I'll gladly add them to my list.

[Malenko]

If you know where I can buy them without online DRM I'll gladly add them to my list.

Ebay, Amazon, any place that sells new and used software?  The older NSF games used secuROM (ie Disc must be in drive, easy to bypass with a crack), some of the newer ones require a 1 time online activation but no software installation (no origin no steam)

I dont mind helping you find a list of games, but Im not gonna find you ebay auctions or retailers and you never said if needing the disc in the drive was a deal breaker.


So that adds 18 games:

The Need for Speed
Need for Speed II
Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit
Need for Speed: High Stakes
Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2
Need for Speed: Underground
Need for Speed: Underground 2
Need for Speed: Most Wanted
Need for Speed: Carbon
Need for Speed: ProStreet
Need for Speed: Undercover
Need for Speed: Shift
Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit
Need for Speed: The Run
Need for Speed: Most Wanted
Need for Speed Rivals

[twistedsymphony]

...newer ones require a 1 time online activation but no software installation (no origin no steam)...

even a 1 time online activation is a deal-breaker for me. as I've stated a few times now... no online connection during play OR installation. There is no Internet connectivity where these machines are located... not even Wi-Fi and I'm not interested in running a cable or a Wi-Fi repeater to make it work... No internet connectivity means NO INTERNET CONNECTIVITY.

I dont mind helping you find a list of games, but Im not gonna find you ebay auctions or retailers...

I'm not asking for a list of list of retailers; I simply need to know that a version of the game legally exists without the need for a internet connection.

------------

Also how many of those NFS games support LAN plan? I know that NFS Rivals does not and that's the 2nd of my 2 hard requirements.

EDIT: looking around it seems that NFS Underground was the last game in the series to natively support LAN, UG2 and MW have patches but everything after that does not support it... So Carbon and everything after that is out. Also it seems LAN is not supported by HP2 and it's only available in the fist 2 games through the "Special Edition" releases so...

The Need for Speed Special Edition
Need for Speed II Special Edition
Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit
Need for Speed: High Stakes/Road Challenge
Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed
Need for Speed: Underground (with LAN Patch)
Need for Speed: Underground 2 (with LAN Patch)
Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) (with LAN Patch)

Provided those games are all legally available and can run a LAN without ever using an internet connection then they're viable additions.

[BadMouth]

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing the LAN play option in the menu of the old original Most Wanted, but I've never utilized it.
I'll check tonight or tomorrow.



This is the original version from 2005-2006, not the one released last year (2012)

I have the cd-rom version.  It's three CD's 
The play disc supposed to be inserted, but I use a crack.

I'd stay away from the new ones.


EDIT: CONFIRMED


ALSO... FYI, this game works fine using only arrow keys, enter & escape for navigation (My view buttons post arrow keys, start posts Enter, exit button posts Escape)  The one oddball is that you need to press Q to quit the game from the main menu.  I used an autohotkey script to have my radio button post as Q.

[twistedsymphony]

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing the LAN play option in the menu of the old original Most Wanted, but I've never utilized it.

From what I was reading they left out LAN from Underground 1 and 2 but players complained and they patched the option back in.

then MW shipped with LAN play but it was broken out of the box and wasn't fixed until the v1.3 patch.... after that EA just dropped LAN play altogether and forced people to use their online servers for all multiplayer.

[Malenko]

its cool. I tap out on being helpful. Must have LAN eliminates a vast majority of games (specifically any game geared towards single player). I misread as no internet as the only hard requirement so for that I do apologize. I don't see why you'd eliminate non-LAN games though, you never ever plan to race solo?

I'd suggest you hit up places like http://www.gamesrocket.com/  http://www.gog.com etc etc and see what you can find.  Your needs are a little too specific for me to be of any help.  Most games that require *ANY* DRM can be cracked/patched to remove such requirements.

Good luck in your search! 

[twistedsymphony]

My LAN requirement stems from my wanting these machines to work like a real arcade machines... if people see two racing cabinets side by side there's an expectation that they'll be able to play head to head.


I've built a few MAME cabs in the past and in addition to these racing cabs I have a few other projects under construction too.

I often choose quality over quantity... For instance I'm building a replica Fix it Felix cab, the internal hardware is already "done" and it only has 60 games running on it, and it's not going to ever have any more than that.... however those 60 games have all been thoroughly tested to ensure that all the controls are mapped perfectly, all the games launch and exit back to the menu properly. and most importantly they all fit the layout of the machine... so the cabinet only has games that utilize a vertical monitor... utilize a 4-way joystick (no 8-way games), two or fewer buttons and, support 2 players alternating (not at the same time).... that limits the games down a lot but the result is a high quality gaming experience on every game that is available on the cabinet.

With these racing cabs I'm going to do the same thing... the only games that are going on the cabinet are those that work and play well, and are configured to properly utilize all of the major features of the cabinet...

very nice find 

[buttersoft]

Necro time! I'm hunting down lan-capable games for my setup, and interested to hear updated opinions.

Also, what was in the link two posts above? It's now dead

[ant2]

These are all the LAN games I've configured on my system:


1 or two require a mouse,  like rfactor.
These games are a mix of PC and emulation.

The n64 games required quite a bit of ahk scripting but i can share these if requested.

If any one has any other suggestions that play well, let me know.
